Drama queen going to drama queen.

He certainly has a history of playing through injuries. The Raiders lit him up quite a few times Sunday. Of course, one of the stories in Pittsburgh is how none of his teammates helped him up after some of the big hits. I wonder if some of his teammates are getting tired of his act.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Reminds a little of this kid - after the idealism turns to cynicism and despair.

The Panthers are going to be this year’s out of nowhere team that wins 11-13 games and gets blown out in the wild card round. Look at their schedule.

Darnold having success has to do serious damage to Gase's career prospects. Golic mentioned the spate of soft-tissue injuries early in the season on the radio broadcast, is it lack of stretching, "game conditioning??, the weather? Panthers needed to diversify their offense outside of McCaffery anyway - but having him as an option had to be comforting for Darnold.

And with each win Jets fans will get more and more apoplectic.

I cannot wait.

Matt Prater just tried a 68-yard field goal for the Cardinals at the end of the first half. It was short, and Jacksonville returned it for a 109-yard touchdown.

Is it just me, or was the field goal return not a thing until about 10 or 15 years ago. Growing up all through the 80s and 90s I can't ever recall a team ever putting a guy back there on long field goals, then I think Devin Hester returned one for a touchdown, and it suddenly became a potent counterweapon in that situation. Even one you have to take into account when deciding whether to try one.

That thing looked an awful lot like the Bama-Auburn kick six - not just the result, but the path to endzone as well.

It’s become more of a thing when kickers started improving their range and teams started trying longer field goals.

In the 80s/90s, teams almost never tried a kick longer than 53-54 yards and only did that out of desperation. Now teams try 60 yarders more frequently and sometimes overestimate their kicker’s range.

Kid in my game on Friday caught a short field goal attempt in the end zone at the end of the first half and started taking off. He wasn't too happy that I blew it dead.

McAfee needs to react like this when the WWE does some nonsensical storyline.
